The usual flat norm F(T) for an n-current T associates T with an n+1 current S, possibly not unique. Then F(T)=min{Mass(S)+Mass(T-boundary(S))}=sup(T(phi)), where phi is a smooth compactly supported n-form with |phi|=<1 and |dphi|=<1. As Mass(S)+Mass(T) is a quantity of mixed dimensions, the choice of S is not scale invariant. In effect T-boundary(S) is a smoothed version of T and the amount of smoothing depends upon scale. If we fix a scale of T we can simulate rescaling by defining Fa(T)=min{aMass(Sa)+Mass(T-boundary(Sa))}, where phi is a smooth compactly supported n-form with |phi|=<1 and |dphi|=
